ALBANY, Ga., Oct. 25—(AP)—
Ceorgia’s = school teachers were
pledged by their president yester
day to use the Minimum Founda
tion Program as the beginning of a
crusade for still bigger and better
school services, :
In a speech prepared for deliv
ery at a district meeting here yes
terday, Jim Cherry. vresident of
the Ceorgia Education Associa
tion, the Teachers’ organization,
declared:
“Our battle has been, and will
eontinue to be, to provide for each
child in our state an adequate edu
cational opvorturity, résardless of
nolitical boundaries such as coun
tv lines and city limits; regardless
of the wealth or the poverty of
the eommunity, We stand firm
arainst vested interests which
would hem in the wealth of this
state and hold it away from the
erving needs of our children.
“The Georria Education Associ
ation will remain vioilant and ag
gressive in its efforts to safe
esnard the Minimum Foundation
Proeram of Fducation and will
develon wavs ard means to
broaden the financial base of this
pro“ram.
“The people of Georgia expect
pit toilets, ill-lighted classrooms,
pot-belilied stoves, unsanitary
lunchrooms, firetrap buildings and
mnsafe school huses to disappear
{'rm the Georgia scene. Our peo
ple exnect betler mointenance and
operaticn, along with an improved
ar” exnanded schoo! program ”
Cherry, DeKalb County School
sinerintendent, paid tribute to the
press of the state for its efforts
toward school improvement, es
perially of the “deplorable physi
eal conditions of our schools.”
“These conditions,” he asserted,
*“mi't be cleaned up quickly. Ad
ditional sums must be secured for
maintenance, operation and capi
tal outlav.”
The GEA president is on. a
sneaking tour of district teacher
conventions. He spoke at Ameri
cus Monday and at Fitzgerald
Tuesday. Todav he will go to
Waycross and Friday to Savan
nah.
He {is telling each of the gather
inas that the Minimum Foundation
program and the three per cent
sales tax to finance it will be re
corded as Georgia’s outstanding
accomplishment of the first half of
the 20th century. But, he adds,
it is until now only & minimum
program and its maximum poten=
tiality must be realized.

TUNNEL'S WASH DAY—How would you like to wash 6500 tile
bathrooms, all at once? That's what washing the 780,000-square~
feet of the tile lining in the new Brooklyn-Battery tunnel in New
York amounts to. But this special tank truck makes short work
of it. The longest vehicular tunnel in the U. S. gets its walls
washed every two weeks, its ceiling every six. The truck does the
complete job in two nights, using 60,000 gallons of water and
7000 of cleaning solution,
Center Cf Cotton Production s
Moving Eastward, Says Pruniy
The center of cotton production
in the Southeast has been moving
enstward for the past quarter cen
tury and is now located east of
the Mississippi river.
This is reported in an extensive
and heavily documented study re
cently completed by Dr. Merle C.
Prunty, jr., head of the University
of Georgia’s department of geo
graphy and geology. The study,
entitled “Recent Quantitative
Changes in Cotton Regions of the
Southeastern States,” appears in
the current issue of “Economic
Geography.”
Dr. Prunty’s study also indicates
that the term “Cotton Belt” is no
longer valid and that actual output
of cotton in the Piedmont and in
ner coastal plain does not indicate
that the soils of this area are ex
hausted.
As the cotton regions of the
Georgia-Carolina Piedmont and
coastal plains and the Tennessee
and Mississippi valleys have in
creased their per acre output, he
writes, they have become relative
ly more important within the
whole structure of cotton produc
tion than at any time in recent de
cades.
Actual Output
“It is therefore valid,” Dr. Prun
ty writes, “on the basis of actual
output of cotton, to question as
sertions to the effect that the soils
of the Piedmont and inner coastal
plain are exhausted, depleted,
eroded, worn out, that ignorance
prevails throughout the popula
tion, that land abandonment and
poverty are necessary corollaries
to land occupance in these areas.
Insofar as cotton is concerned the
production record does not cor
respond to such assertions.”
Dr. Prunty says in connection
with the movement of the median
center of cotton production across
the state of Arkansas and the
Mississippi River that the ‘older
eastern districts now display a re
surgence in productivity which
was unexpected two decades ago.”
Although during the last 25 years
the Southeast has experienced a
cotton acreage decline of 48 per
cent, the volume of cotton pro
duced has actually increased al
most one million bales.
The geographer writes that the
center of cotton production not
only has moved eastward but has
moved northward, “cbviously as a
consequence of the large increases
in productivity in the northern
Mississippi valley tri-state district,
the Georgia-Carolina Piedmont,
:TAKE ‘" (T 8 |
R
and the middle Tennessee valley
in northern Alabama.
Seven Regions
In place of the old “Cotton Belt,”
Dr. Pruntw says there are seven
cotton regions. These are (1) the
inner coastal plain in Georgia and
the Carolinas, including discon
tinuous outliers, (2) the lower and
central GCeorgia - Carolina Fied
mont, including outliers in north
western Georgia, (3) the northern
Alabama sector of the middle
Tennessee valley, (4) the Missis
sippi alluvial wvalley, (5) the
northern “Black Waxy” prairies of
Texas, (6) the South Texas coastal
plains as a discontinuous region
and including the Rio Grande val
ley, and (7) the high plains of
southwestern Oklahoma and west
ern Texas, including the wupper
Canadian, Brazos, Colorado, and
Red River valleys, the Llano Es
tacado, and intervening sectors.
He says that research is needed
to determine ‘land occupance”
conditions of those areas where
cotton is now “insignificant as a
land occupance criterion.”
FIRE BUNDLE
African natives carry fire in the
bakonjo, or fire bundle. The ba
nana-leaf bundle is stuffed with
dry grass and tinder, which is
ignited before the ends are tied
up. When a fire is desired, one end
of the bundle is opened and the
grass bursts into flame.
